Wait....only 2 CAD's? Don't tell me that I bought more than YOU did. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) 5 mics, sorry . . . I hit the wrong keys sometimes. LOL 5 CADs? Wow. I only bought 3. You win!!! LOL. How are you planning on using them? How many total mics is that now? I'm just barely hitting the mid 80's...... ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Yeah those were fun, you could get away with using a 22 like a API 560 but man if you really really want to know what all the fuss about KT Graphics was you owe it to yourself to get a DN27! Just remember you don’t have to move all 27 faders😳 Hey ericn sometimes an unfinished thought just lingers and ruminates and itches until it's scratched. Your suggestion about pushing audio through the DN27 (while not moving all the faders) is that itch. I've been literally coming back to this post in my mind for quite a while. This may be a dumb question but I'm hoping you can help me understand better what you're indicating. Please correct me if I don't have it right, are you indicating that the greater per-band resolution of the DN27 through its 27 inductors on a single channel might provide a more resolved (or finely tuned) saturation through those inductors than does the broader and less resolved (fewer bands) DN22 that has only 11 bands per channel? Even when both are set flat? That's what I've come to imagine you were describing, but I'm hoping you can confirm or correct me on. As I mentioned, I'm really not keen on having too many moar bands per channel because I wind up with analysis paralysis. But at the same time if running audio through more than twice as many inductors without necessarily having to adjust gain on those bands can provide some more finely resolved saturation then I'm super keen to check that out. Thanks for any tips!

Thanks for any tips! From memory and it’s been a while, I think the 27 was the only KT that was inductor based KT. I could be wrong but I think the 22 was the next generation. I know the 27 was the very first KT, I almost bought a pair a couple of years ago that were built for a Sound Company and carried the Sound Company’s name. Unfortunately my 2 great KT experts have passed on, but I was always told the 27 if you wanted tone 360 if you wanted clean.

Been an expensive week but scored a pair of Neve 1059’s and a pair of EAB/Geiling VE12 tube pre/eq modules!

Not gear, really, but searching not seeing much discussion on it here with attending in person. Headed to France at the end of the month with Nick (Bat Lanyard) for the MWTM Tony Hoffer session at La Fabrique. Super pumped. Now, just have to figure out how to do proper stems for this with my hybrid setup, lol! We're both staying onsite.
I'll report back with some photos and reflections, but Tony Hoffer's work touches so many of the things I'm trying to do engineering and production wise. Can't wait to be in person and hear some of his work in detail, then sit and run through a Bat Lanyard tune or two and get feedback. Will be interesting to hear other attendees' work as well.
Uploading a couple of new ones that we're working on now to their session site and excited to see what comes of the week, much less the whole vacation and cultural immersion of it all. Hopefully, the Olympic prep won't be a bear but staying in near the hub of the city for a night before taking the train the next morning to Avignon where we'll be picked up to head to La Fabrique. Should be an amazing trip.

Thanks for the info, it's fascinating that KT used to produce sweet inductor EQs before they got engulfed into the belly of the Music Tribe/Behringer beast. My KT DN22 has inductors, but only 11 per channel. While I tend to get overwhelmed by too many options, this is countered by my moth-to-flame lust for moar inductors. So I can't help looking at those DN27s. I may have a couple of them to show here soon :-)

Sennheiser HD 26 Pro. It’s like a clearer, sturdier, comfier HD 25. This is much better sounding than the HD 280, HD 300, and DT 770 but doesn’t isolate as well as the DT 770 M. I would say it’s about as good as some modded or later version Fostex cans but comfier.

It frequently gets used pre or post tape echo sends, and doing extremely aggressive alternating cuts & boosts can do really cool things to synth basses and leads.

Just pulled the trigger on a Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster and a Les Paul Standard '60s in Bourbon Burst. Really, really looking forward to getting these.

I finally caved and bought a U67 reissue yesterday. I have wanted one since the first time I used one, a few years ago. The local gear pimp's having a mic sale this week, and all the stars aligned.

Finally found a decent condition Advanced Audio CM-28 pair for sale, been waiting for AA to start making them again but now I don’t need to :-) …. Also starting to think they won’t.
I’ll likely be selling a single CM-28 if anybody’s interested (had that one for a while, decided a pair is preferred since I like stereo). -Chris

UA Curve Bender plug, really like it on mixbus…even when running through my hardware AS pultecs, it ads something really nice even on top of those. Honestly, never had it on my radar but had some UA coupons and wasn’t sure what I wanted since I thought I had everything I wanted already…so was looking through online reviews and found a really good one on this plug from Tapeop.
Still saving for a matched pair of RS660’s…will def post here once I can get them!

I bought a Laney Cub Super 12 yesterday. I already have a Deluxe Reverb but I wanted something small for recording that could give me a bit more breakup without pedals. I watched way too many YouTube videos and felt it was the right sound for me. Originally, I was going to pick up a Tonex. But, sometimes we are just working fast and I don't feel like messing with software and menus. I just want to toss a mic on an amp and press record. Hopefully it will work out. Should be here in a few days.

They eventually did put them out in 96'. Heavy boat anchors though.
I have 3 guitars with Glaser Benders myself, installed by Joe Glaser. I bet it would have been quite a history had Fender put them out in the 70s.
I better mention new gear - got myself a new RAM4 cartridge for the Yamaha DX7.

A couple of Fenders in an auction: a 2016 Jazzmaster and a 1999 Jazz bass.
